retreat for Italians on Seventh avenue,
was scene of riot this evening in which
four men were seriously stabbed. The
trouble was caused by Michael Catalonia re-
fusing two unknown Italians the privilege
to sleep at his place. The strangers went
next door, where a christening was il
progress and told OF Cataionia's inh0spt
able treatment. When the latter came in to
participate in the festivities he was up
braided for his conduct. and finally some
one struck him. This was the signal for
free fight, in which every one OF fifty
Italians who were in the room
took part. Knives, razors and pistols
were freely fourished, and chairs, pOkers
and everything that could be handled were
used as weapons. After wrecking the fix
lures ths rioters withdrew to the court,
where the tight was kept up until a report
that the police were coming dispersed the
mob. -Four Of the party, Michael Catalonia,
Ontino Darribal, Augustine Amend and
Incenzzo Datto, were found to have been
seriously wounded. The two former have
ugly cuts in their sides and will probably
die. Amend and Datto were terribly
gashed about their faces and bodies. but
were not fatally injured. Eleven Italians
who were in bed teignlng sleep when the
police arrived, were arrested and will be
held for riot.

BELFAST, Jan. 30.-There was terrible
rioting in the Petershill, Carrickhill and
Shankhill districts of this city last night.
The trouble originated through soldiers be-
longing to the West Surrey regiment in
sultng number of Catholic civilians.
The latter retaliated by stoning the soldiers,
many of whom were injured. This was
followed by wholesale arrest. over one hum
dred persons being placed in the lookup.
A constable engaged in this duty was ser-
Ously injured by the excited crowd. Finally
military pcKets were called out and quiet
was restored. This evening the rioting was
renewed, and many persons received gun
shot wounds and large number of others
were more or less bruised by being struck
by stones. The town is now quiet.
HOW 1T ORIGINATED.
Altogether fifty rioters have been ar
rested. The trouble originated on Satur-
day night in a row between ProteStants
and Catholics. The arrival of the police
incensed the mob aud led to free use OF
| revolvers and stones. The police were
compelled to fire for their own protection.
The mayor and other authorities did their
| best to prevent renewal of the rioting to-
night. but without success, although to-
nights atfrays We're small compared with
| tnOSe On Saturday. only three persons
were arrested tonight. The outbreak to-
night was caused by the appearance
Of tive constables who gave evidence before
the riots investigation commission. The
constables were roughly handled, and re-
| inforcements had to be called out. Some
! prisoners were taken and the crowd tried
! to rescue them. when the police were again
compelled to fire inGtheir defense. One
constable was severely wounded and was
sent to an infirmary. The others who were
| injured were taken to their homes.

ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, Jan. 80. Two
detectives. accompanied by four determined
men, started with bloodhounds in pursuit
of the gang Of train robbers whe have been
operating in this vicinity for the past six
months News reached here this morning
tnat the robbers had been overtaken and q
desperate encounter at close range had en-
sued, and that the detectives and prisoners
would arrive this morning by special
train. The robbers were tracked into HelPS
Canyon, near Belen station, eighty miles
south of here. and when the robbers found
they were surrounded they prepared for a
fight, and made bloody defense at close
range. The robbers proved to be four in
number and well armed. The detectives
demanded a surrender, which was answered
by volley of lead from the robbers, and
then a regular battle commenced. The de-
tectives and party were too many for them,
however. and in the capture Hardy Foster
was killed, but after being shot
he lived long enough to make a
confession duplicating the whole party.
Two others were captured, the fourth max
ing his escape. One of those captured
proved to be Charles Ross. who murdered

has had charge of his case since his return
to St. Louis. two months ago, acknowl-

down of the system, and now, last of all,
the brain has been attacked. All that can
be done for the present is to nurse and care
for the patient until the end is reached.

Some natives travelling by some nllfrH-

boy or years old crawling about on
hands and feet. On drawing near they
were amazed to see the boy disappear
quickly within the interior of large hole,
which, on closer inspection, turned out to
be the dwelling place of some wild beast.
They reported the occurrence to the magis-
trate sahib of Bulandshahr, who dispatched
messengers to the spot with instructions to
light fire at the mouth of the cave. This
was done, and on the binding fumes max

Engineers pronounce his theory correct

long, is known as the ''concave bottom, -
the hull being built in right and left hand

such as to displace the water in manner

TheCnwhoxas heIs.

The cowboys haye-to use their OWE
phrase-''taken a tumble to themselves"
writes George Anderson in the Tomah
wis Enterprise. Time was, and not so
very long ago either. that when the cow
boys received their pay after the 'tround-
up" they felt in duty bound to go to Miles
City and elbow it in" at the gambling dens,
saloons, and other disreputable places.
''Cow-punchng" is at best q very tough
business, and full of risks to life and limb;
and pay is small and by ne means adequate,
and after the roundup" there follows a
long period of enforced idleness, during
which they are given food and lodging only
by the ranch owner. The average cowboy
was wont to turn up after his semi-annuaE
spree with a very large head and not cent
in his pocket. OF late, however, the boys
have, as | have said, taken tumble to
themselves and are saving their money.
So common has the economical spirit be-
come among them that Miles City has seen
this year the auietest season in its history.
Most Of the cowboys look upon their COM
ing to Montana to herd cattle as the mis-
take of their lives. The glowing stories of
thrilling adventure and sudden wealth OF
the cowboys life which are common in the
East are in most cases responsible for their
entering the guild, but the reality is quite
different matter. Many of the economi-
cal ones have been enabled by their savings
to return to their eastern homes.
People who have not beeu through the
bad lands have but faint conception Of
the utter desolation and worthlesSnesS of
cowboys home. He is roasted in summer
and frozen in winter. The lands can
never be used for anything but grazing, and
the distances are therefore something i'm
mense. One popularity Of the country
makes rapid riding very difficult. not to
say dangerous, undertaking. The earth is
so friable that a tiny waterceurse will
speedily cut for itself a deep gully, OF
or "coolie. 7'as it is called, the depth of which
when filled with snow is entirely problemat-
ical. A herseman who rides with a cow
boys recklessnes may suddenly find himself
at the bottom of a six or eight foot coolie
with his horse ON tor of hir,. and no way
of getting out-if fo happens to be still
| alive-save tunneling up to the head of the
stream through the snow. Then one of
your broncho's feet is as likely as not to
sink suddenly two feet down into a coyotes
hole when he is going at a furious pace.
Result: His leg snaps off like pipe-stem,
! and you are shot through the air to point
far beyond and picked up more dead than
alive. The water is generally bitter with
alkaIi and scorches your throat as you
! swallow it; there is little to eat, and that ia
hard to get.

CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-rhe following sum-

but no injury has resulted. From twenty
three other Illinois counties the reports this

ports from Missouri. covering thirteen coun-
! ties, are uniformly favorable. OF the six
teen Ohio counties making report this week
! three report wheat as looking poorly,
namely, Athens, Noble and Trumbull
counties. The remaining counties report
the outlook as fair to good. Nearly all the
| Southern counties are bare of snow, which
is also true of Fulton and others of the
Northern counties bordering on the lake.
In Fulton and Ohio counties of Indiana the
aelds are bare Of snow and tie plant has
suffered from freezing. The Wisconsin
fields are generally well protected with
snow and no injury is reported.
